It might have been ten long years during which Didi has been hiding out of Gujarat. But the murder of Pankajbhai has not been forgotten. On the occasion of 10th anniversary former DGP Vanzara and famous writer Shri Gunwantbhai Shah were present to pay tribute to Pankanbhai Trivedi

Pankajbai was a loyal Swadhayayee for decades and had contributed lacks of rupees. Dada used to call him "captain" .. all this changed when he dared to question financial mismanagement.

It was five years ago to-day, nearly a dozen Swadhyayees planned and executed murder of long time ardent supporter of Swadhyay - Pankajbhai Trivedi. May be they thought they can get away with murder. May be they thought this will be a stern lesson to anyone else trying to leave the parivar and question the authority of Didi. May be they thought time heals everything and blind followers will move on and get busy with Bhavpheri and Bhaktipheri. After all it had worked before.

But that is not what happened. The media covered this murder like no other in the history of Gujarat. Didi has not stepped a foot in Gujarat in 60 months. Didi is currently in USA and is holding private meeting with a select few rather than massive rally of the past. People are noticing that things are not same.

Here is our humble attempt to pay tribute to that courageous man - Pankajbhai Trivedi who has inspired thousands by sacrificing his life to expose the real Swadhyay.

What might have prompted Pankajbhai to embark on a suicide mission? Why a man with loving family and so much to live for would willingingly put his life on the line? The answers are becoming clearer with more and more scandelous activities being exposed everyday. We are truly grateful to all the contributors who continue to provide the proof of more and more fraud and deceit being conducted under the name of a religous/social movement.

We hope and pray that people will wake up and refuse to turn over their logical brain to Motabhais. It is time to do real Bhaktipheri and Bhavpheri - talk to others who may not know the whole story, pick up the phone, travel at your expense to enlighten others and use cyberspace to shed the light on truth. Tamasho Mah Jyotirgmayah! Feel free to share your views and information.

Questions shall not die by killing Pankajbhai Trivedi.

~Vijay Mehta (June 15, 2011)

"Es Khel mein him ho na ho garde sitare rahenge sada!"Pankajbhai Trivedi was murdered burtally on 6/15/2006. His death sent a wake up call globally. A man of conviction Pankajbhai was bent upon exposing corruption and he was fully aware of the consequences. He chose to sacrifice his life. Let us hope his sacrifice shall not go in vein.

When Pankajbhai realized that Swadhyay had a different innercore than the outer wonderful organization. He started asking questions and appealing to authorities. This lead to threats and intimidation. Swadhyay responded by many cases filed against him in different location in Gujarat. High court threw all these out as nuisance suits and noted that Swadhyay abused judicial system to harrass him. Pankajbhai was going to continue his quest to expose the fraud.That day Bharat Bhatt and Ghanshyam Chudasama decided to silence Pankajbhai for ever. On the evening of June 15, 2006 eight Swadhyayees did the dirty job supported by Motabhai Bharat Bhatt. As the history will prove it - this was a big mistake. Pankajbhai's sacrifice sent a wake up call all over this world

Moment that shook the world and faith of thousands of Swadhyayees across the world:

Pankaj Trivedi was brutally murdered last night as he was returning from gym by four men. He was repeatedly hit by bats to death according to the eye witness.

Pankajbhai was a long time Swadhyay member.

Pankajbhai fell into disfavor by Swadhyay Privar, when he claimed that Swadhyay had collected more than 400 Crore rupees from USA and England for 2001 earthquake relief efforts and these funds were not used for that purpose.

Multiple cases were filed against him in different courts by Swadhyay. In about 20 cases high court had already ruled in his favor.

Pankajbhai had felt that his life was in danger and had requested protection from police. collector and chief minister but none was offered.

At this time police suspects that his murder is connected to this controversy. Did he pay the ultimate price to stand up for truth and justice?

I admire you for the noble work you have been doing relentlessly for the Indian community. Violence has no place in any religion and needs to be condemned by all members of the civilized society. It is a moral duty of all eductaed, intellctually honest people to make sure that the little or uneducated members of the society is not misguided and exploited in any organized religion. Please do all you can to make Indian community aware of this horrifying incident and urge people not to sway in emotions, BHAV but rather try to look at the FACT with an open mind.

For those of you, who may not know Pankajbhai Trivedi, let me give you some background info. Pankajbhai was born and raised in Ahmedabad and associated with SWADHYAY for a very long time. He was a dedicated but alert and intelligent swadhyayi. When he saw swadhyay deviating from its original spiritual path, he could not keep it quiet and tried to stop the descent. Swadhyayis filed many cases against him in Gujarat High Court and he won them all. This was his fault, to fight for the truth.

Who is behind this brutal murder? We need full and fair investigation of Pankajbhai's murder and pray to Yogeshwar that his soul rest in peace in Heaven as he was fighting for the TRUTH, the "SAT", against corruption, Vyaktipuja and many other such deeds.

I was shocked to hear the news about the murder of Pankajbhai Trivedi.

Any time a crime is committed under the name of religion or for mistaken reason of religion - the religion actually become weaker.

We would not know for some time as to who did it and what was the exact rationale behind it but let us hope that whether you show him as a trouble maker or as a man who stood for truth - we can all agree that resorting to violence to settle the score is WRONG.

May his soul rest in peace and God give strength to his family and friends to bear his loss.

British Citizen Vinoo Sachania went for a visit to India. On Jan 12th 2003 he was attacked by 4-6 men. First, at gun point he was blindfolded and taken to remote place and beaten. They fractured his both legs and arms and was seriously hurt. He underwent seven hours of emergency surgery.

Just like Pankajbhai Trivedi Vinoo Sachania also had questioned and criticised the alleged mismanagement of Swadhyay. Vinoo Sachania had notified the chief minister prior to this incidence, that his safety was at stake and inspite of that he suffered major injuries.

He also faxed chief minister, warning him that Pankajbhai was also at risk of same fate, but apparantly this did not save Panjakbhai Trivedi.

It's very painful to bear the news of Pankajbhai's untimely death at the hands of the organisation supposed to make a man - a noble man and a society - a noble society for which we all laid our lives.

Since no action has been taken against previous attacks on Swadhyayees like Satish Rughani, Vinod Shah, Shankerbhai Thakkar, Hemrajbhai, Hitu Gandhi, Maheshbhai Shah etc. this murder might go un-punished. The faulth is of old Swadhyayees who do not have the courage to rise and press for punishment.

It is not only for fear of life, it is harassment by false police cases in rural India, intimidation and security of family members.

Probably the family members of Pankajbhai may also not press for going in to the roots of murder. The reasons would be same with one addition of time constraint for them.

My earnest appeal to the well placed and resourceful brothers and sisters would be to approach Homeland Securities of U.S.A. with whom a false complaint was lodged that Pankajbhai was associated with notorious Bin Laden. The Agency may please be persuaded to examine The Lady who is now in U.S.A. - who is behind the murder of Pankajbhai. I understand Pankajbhai was an U.S. citizen and probably a prime witness in investigation of false misleading letter forwarded to The Agency that Pankajbhai was a Bin Laden associate.

I have heard that some Swadhyayee U.S. doctor had made this false and mis-leading complaint to The Agency. He should also be examined by Homeland Securities.

Pankajbhai has been killed in India and the string puller is in U.S. now. Pankajbhai was an U.S. citizen. In all probabilities, The U.S. law may have the provision to try the accused of murder of an U.S. citizen in foreign land (India). So she must be examined and detained if there are sufficient grounds. If few of the vengeful Swadhyayees are examined there in U.S. by one or other U.S. citizens, the truth may come out. If not, at least it will prevent the vengeful Swadhyayees of U.S. from lodging futher complaints against one or other past dedicated Swadhyayee.

At the end, I once again appeal to the U.S. citizens to press for the investigation of Pankajbhai's murder through the U.S. investigating agencies. The appeals may also please be made to editors of various newspapers and magazines of U.S.

For a resident of India, it would be risky to engage private detectives for parallel investigation but an U.S. citizen, the risk of vengeful actions is minimal. Those who love Pankajbhai or abhor un-civilized killing and are resourceful should consider engaging private detectives and get the murder investigated.

If Swadhayay is indirectly (like Mafia or Don) is responsible for this brutal killing, it will be a dark day in its history and will be considered not fit for its purpose.However, no one is guilty until proven and this also applies to Swadhaya. As of today - 18th June, the head of the Org. is in London & will be meeting the key workers tomorrow.In India police will not solve this murder as the people in the high office normally are the pupets of the organizations who have muscle & wealth power.As a result of this, the Indian press will not suceed either in getting to the truth of the matter or challenge openly the guilty.My advise is that those who have families either in India or aborad should not become "Krantikaris" as after the death of the person the family pays the price. If you think about it, Mr Trivdi must be very bold to raise his head above the perapet & against the corrupt practicises in the organization but finally his family has paid the price becuase of his murder. Mr Sachania was very lucky to get away alive but his family went through a very difficulat time, as I understand.So stop being "veers & Krantikaris & emotional fools about the Org and let the people like Judge Kaka, Hemraj, Mr Gandhi etc come forward and fight this game in the name of Krishan who made this play devine!In my view they are the ultimate people responsible for proping up this ogrganization and they must pay the price and not the ordinary Swadhayees.Why are they hiding and not coming forward?

Re: Pankaj Trivedi Murdered...« Reply #7 on: Jun 18th, 2006, 5:37pm »

There is obviously a pattern of behavior that is happening here. What I don't understand is how the Swadhyay spin doctors are able to repeatedly absolve the swadhyay leadership of any blame by using such guileless tactics as characteric defamation. I hear that they are now claiming that Pankaj Trivedi had a "gambling problem" and was targeted by gangsters to whom he owed money. How ridiculous can you get?

I also think it is interesting that the leader of the movement decides to inexplicably extend her stay in the US for an extra week.....

Crores rupees swindled away from Earthquake fundsCrores rupees swindled under the name of Yogeswar KrushiDada was held hostage during his last few months of life by Didi

I have lost all my faith in Swadhyay and Dada. I never paid any attention to Didi as I knew she just inherited the GADI without any merits or qualities.

Its you who have failed to understand this CHEATING on the name of GOD.

How much changes come by this swadhyay....A LOT, a free thinking god loving human being is transfromed in to a BLIND FOLLOWER and is exploited on the name of GOD. SWADHYAY tranfroms a NAR (Man) into NARADHAM (DEVIL).

I DONT EVEN FEEL PITY FOR BLIND FOLLOWERS LIKE YOU AS IT IS A BETRAYL TO GOD WHO GAVE YOU A LITTLE BRAIN TO USE.

The fact is Swadhyay' Garage is full of those vehilces like yourself which are abused, used and exploited but no one tries to repair it, because once it is repaired, I mean self-awakening, you will realize that SWADHYAY is a BIG FRAUD. SWADHYAY will only exploit you, but never repair you.

I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THIS CHEATING CALLED SWADHYAY AND I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT DADA HAS CHEATED ALL OF US FOR DECADES FOR HIS SELFISH MOTIVES AND HANDED OVER THE GADI TO THAT JADI.

YOU ARE A LIVING PROOF OF HOW POWERFUL BRAINWASHING CAN BE...JSUT READ YOUR COMMENTS, " Whatever negative things are there about DIDI in www.sawadhyayee.org , that may be absuletly wrong. If it may true, people dont care about it...."

ONLY BRAINDEAD BLIND FOLLOWERS ACCEPT DIDI. GOD NEVER WANTED GADI-PRATHS ESTABLISHMENT IN FIRST PLACE AND THAT IS WHY DADA HAD NO KIDS. DADA CHALLANGED GOD BY ADOPTING DIDI SO THAT HE CAN ESTBLISH GADI-PRATHA. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT ALIGHTY GOD. GOD DID NOT GAVE ANY KIDS TO DIDI. NOW WHAT? SHE WILL WALK IN HER FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS AND ADOPT HIS NEPHEW AND HAND OVER THE GADI TO HIM.

YOU SAY, "Still I never lost anything by swadhyay....only got......" WAKE UP DEVIPUJAK, USE YOUR LITTLE BARIN FOR A CHNAGE. YOU LOST EVERYTHING MY FRIEND, YOU LOST YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE, YOU LOST YOUR ABILITY TO THINK INDEPENDENTLY AND FREELY, YOU LOST SIGHT OF GOD AND NOW CONCENTRATING ON ATHALE FAMILY AND YOU HAVE BECOME WORSHIPER OF ATHVALE FAMILY. YOU HAVE LOST YOUR IDENTITY AS A BHAKT. THEY ARE NOW CONTROLLING YOUR FREE WILL AND USING YOU IN THEIR PROPAGANDA AND MARKETING.

Problem with these anti-Swadhyay idiots is that since they know how good Swadhyay is and that's why they can not go and join other alternates like Asharam Bapu, Swaminaryan etc. but at the same time they do not have intellect to understand that Swadhyay work is not going to run according to their whims and fancies.To all Anti-Swadhyay folks:

Listen to this simple advice. If you think there is anything legal wrong - go and bang your head with police / court.

If you think you are smarter than Swadhyay - then first do something positive in the society and then try to teach us what is right and what is wrong. You idiots have no guts to do anything positive but all the time in the world to sing and dance to say this is not right, that is not right etc.

If you like Swadhyay, you come to Swadhyay. If you don't like Swadhyay - our exit door are always open for you to walk out.

Dear Swadhyyee

Can someone be a devout Swadhyayee and be against any fraud, deceit, violence and murder?

Can a good Swadhyayee be sad and mad about the brutal murder of Pankajbhai Trivedi, who was a devout memebr since 1972 and said to have contributed nearly 1.5 Lakh rupees ?

Can someone be a jagrut Swadhyayee who is willing to question not because he/she hates Swadhyay but because Swadhyay is so important to him or her.

I agree that we should not rush to judgement as to who was behind such a heinous act of barbarism and let the police do the job.

But at the same time the questions being raised by Pankajbhai about the accounting of funds raised for earthquake victims are valid ones - dont you agree?

No one has to rot here. People are expressing their views and concerns (right or wrong)

Frankly, I personally know many Swadhyayee for whom I have nothing but utter respect and admiration. But does that mean we keep our eyes closed and mouth shut where there is a pattern of violence against anyone who has questioned the current leadership?

Once again Swadhyay parivar is in news, not for any achievement but for a murder. It is a rule of nature that once a given religious sect gets stronger, the decay starts. Hindu relition is full of sects started by someone who finds imprefection in the way it is being preached or practised. So he takes the basic principles and adds few of his own and starts a new Sampraday.

Once the visionary leader is disabled or dies the followers do not have the same capacity. Simply being installed as a leader does not give one a capacity to lead the group. If it was possible to rule the world with sticks and guns then we could get dictators and gundas to run the Sampradays. However, leading the sampraday requires service without expectation and leadership by example. Respect can not be demanded but it is commanded. When we start worshiping a person and not the quality, it is the beginning of the end. So all that remains is a large group of followres with no direction. These people may even commit crime at the behest of the leaders. And thus startd the downfall of Sampraday. In organization such as this no dissent is tolerated. If any devotee dares to qustion for the sake of truth he is silenced by hook or crook. Pankaj Trivedi decided to follow the path of seeking the truth and the establishment did not tolerate the dissent.

To: Davi Jujak Yuwan,I like your statements about your nighbours, community and changes in your life. I am a regular swadhyayee since last 15 years. You must keep faith and stay focused on the main priciples of swadhyay and always recite and focus on "Krishnam Vande Jagad Guru" until we meet our spiritual Goals.For most of us Dada was our initial teacher and we are grateful for his efforts and actions. We do not know his past and initial motives but his actions lead us to a better understandings of Vedic dharma.Since last several years I have read about the several painful incidents in swadhyay parivar. I knew that some main dedicated and honest workers like (Hemrajbhai, Radasbhai, Justice Diwan etc) left or were kicked out from swadhyay parivar trusts. I do not know why?It is also fact that there were some violance and some X-swadhyees were badly injured. I am also confused why Dada did not stop such actions! May be he did not know or no one told him. I am also concerned that improper use of swadhyay money funds or bad accounting may cuase a big blow to our parivar trust and faith! I do not know why swadhyay trusts should collect and keep large amount of money? Why Didi should travel lavish! After all we have to think and live with our common swadhyayees....Well, these are my concerns but I am sure Lord Yogeshwar will help us and will give us a leader to clear the problems.I just hope Mr. Trivedi's musrder will be investigated and will help to clear swadhyay parivar...
